I've been on diets since the day I was born. I wish I had bought stock in weight watchers when i turned to them for help. I love all types of food as long as it doesnt move. I am always searching for something satisfying to fill a need but land up eating nothing that is worth the effort looking for. I am a compulsive eater and I've been thru all the plans and scams of weight loss claims.
I am feeling like if i don't eat than i won't have the urge to binge. I'm so upset. I've been on a one year sabbatical from work and had hoped I would lose weight in the process but didn't. In fact, I put on weight.
I'm so absolutely discouraged and after years and years of dieting, being on programs, starting over mondays and so forth, I'm still in the same place I was when I started. Heavy, but looking older and feeling very out of shape.
Okay, day 3 up and running. Just returned from the cardiologist where for the first time in my life, I had somewhat high blood pressure (for me). I've never gone over 120/80 and am now at 140/90. Not good. Naturally, the doctors first request was that I lose weight.
I wish everyone would realize that I look in a mirror now and then. I just love when doctors tell us to lose weight. What about giving us some support, encouragement and directions. I know, I know, we know what to do. It would just be nice if a doctor said to us hey, I know u can do it, I recommend u try blah blah blah or have u tried blah blah blah. Instead of, u need to lose weight. duh! as if I didn't know and this was the first time hearing the news.
Well, I made it thru day 1.....bring out the hotdogs and the wine....lol
Onto day 2. I'm having trouble exercising but I will wait till I feel a bit stronger and actually more motivated to get the body moving. I really should return to the health club where my membership will end at the end of September.
Okay, its been bad, I've been bad, when am I ever really serious. I'm at my wits end. I am totally obsessed and possessed by food. I am constantly searching for something, spending money on snacks, cakes and foods I think will make me happy.....but they don't.
I looked in the mirror this morning and I look alot older than the soon to be 55 year old. I've been battling the bulge since adolescence and I still cant get a grip! I want something I am not really sure is attainable for me. I want a nice tight body, perky boobs and a waist. I want my double chin that looks like is growing a third one, to be gone.
I am tired of starting again, and again, and again. I want my body and my life back. I feel tormented by this.
Love your picture! Hang in there - don't give up! You have already accomplished so much - you can do it again. WW does work - I'm on it again too. Currently at 206 I can relate to your pain and discomfort. My only suggesstion is to focus on the now, and how you can do something good for your body in this moment only. Take each and every moment one at a time. You will regain control and feel at peace instead of panic. Best of luck to you - I hope you stick with it.
I'm really down and out today. I cannot get the eating under control. In fact, I feel totally out of control. I feel as though I am just eating to eat. I think I've eaten everything over the past few days that doesn't move. Its depressing but worst of all, Its affecting my quality of life.
I'm experiencing chest pains and walking is not easy. Though I'm still recovering from my knee surgery. Clearly, I'm not grossly obese, but 200 lbs is obese and my ankles are feeling the weight.
I'm frightened I'll never lose the weight. I don't know what to do and after all these years, I'm still looking for that one miracle cure.
Shame on me for thinking its out there.
